Sebastian's POV

"Dude how did you land a role in a musical when you can barely carry a tune?"
I rolled my eyes at Anthony Mackie's voice in the phone.

"I have no idea, apparently I fit the part, they never asked me to sing until now," I murmured rubbing my forehead.
"Was it the steel blue eyes? Was it the abs?" Mackie asked.

I groaned "Seriously though, they have several music artists in this film from multiple genres and I'm gonna look shit in comparison,"

"Don't tell me Beyoncé is in this movie cause I swear to god if you sing anywhere near Beyoncé we can no longer be friends, like I will not acknowledge I know you,"
"No she isn't you can chill out,"

Your POV

I put my guitar case down in the trailer and collapsed on the couch.
"This is a terrible idea Tara, I'm not an actor, plus metal music isn't exactly Hollywood is it?"

Tara, my agent, closed the trailer door and leaned against the wall "I thought you'd love the idea of a project that included all genres of music and have metal be recognised in the mainstream media,"

I rubbed my face "Well that's not gonna happen alongside the pretty pink pop stars that everyone's rooting for and they see me and go why the fuck is a member of the Addams Family here? That's a big turn off apparently in comparison,"

Tara sat beside me and sighed "You haven't let anyone's opinion of your aesthetic bother you in a long time whys this coming out now?"

I picked at my black nail polish and sighed "I guess this is just super overwhelming like it's school all over again I'm the one who will be picked on and everyone will swoon over the glamorous popular kids and I'll just forgotten unless it's for a good laugh..."

Tara patted my shoulder "Well it's not just pink popular pop stars there's other genres and there's actors too who happen to carry a tune?"
"Like who?"

Tara went silent and looked away.
"Tara? You've suddenly gone unnaturally quiet and now you're making me panic more,"

She held my hand "I didn't say anything cause I didn't want you to freak out, but you know that um guy from the films, those films you watch?"
I blinked "Just fucking say it Tara,"

She squeezed my hand "...Sebastian Stan..."
.....
....
..
"Oh god no, I'm immigrating I can't deal with that, I can't deal with that nope nope, I cannot deal with a man that good looking, no way,"

Sebastian's POV

"Ok Sebastian, let's make it easy we will do some scales," the vocal coach murmured clearly irritated by me at this point.
We'd been in this dance studio for about 20 minutes singing, more like failing and I wasn't getting any better.

I was about to open my mouth but the door opened and two of the famous singers participating in the film walked in and if I'm entirely honest they might as well have been twins.

Both super tanned and both wearing matching sports bra and leggings and were giggling at me as they walked in and gave me a wave.
I smiled and nodded at them and focused my eyes back at the lyrics on the paper in my hand.

I looked up again when the door opened again, a girl with dressed in black hoodie and leggings walked in with her hood up and cautiously scoped out the room and once she got eye contact with me she looked away quickly and sat in the corner of the room alone.
